I found my baby hanging upside down from his cage this morning. He was looking so skeletal I was sure he was dead, but when I went to take him down, he started to barely move. He is about 8 years old now, on hpw diet. When I fed him last night, he seemed a little lethargic but nothing too concerning. I noticed he hadn't touched his water so I don't know if that's the cause. I tried to give him some Pedialtye in a dropped but I don't think he has the strength to swallow it. My house is 77° so its not a temperature problem. I called my regular vet but they closed at noon today, so I tried 8 different ER services and the closest one is at least two hours away and I am afraid the car ride would kill him. I live in Harvard,IL, maybe 20 mins from Lake Geneva, Wisoncsin. If anyone could please share some contact info that could help me, it would be appreciated. His brother died 5-6 years ago from dehydration when I went on vacation and my sitter failed to give him water. I just feel like I am going through it all over again and I am not sure what else I can do. Thank you.

I forgot to add the he started balding around his ears 2 months ago. It wasn't due to grooming and I had him tested for mites, and there was no abnormal results. We moved in January and are still adjusting so the vet thought it may be stress, or just balding in general. That's the only health problem I have had with him.

Linda gave you good advice. He really needs to be seen by a vet.

I found a vet in Milwaukee that can help me. The problem is its going to be 1-2 hours in the car. On my way now though, I will keep you all updated. I didn't get him to swallow a little bit of pedialytle so hopefully it will tie him over until I can get there

Really sorry to hear. I've been quietly watching this thread hoping for good news.
Please consider getting a necropsy done. More people on this board can give you details on it. All I can say is that it'll help give you answers and aid in research being done on Glider health and taking care of Gliders with the hope that these events can be better avoided in the future.
Sorry once again. Thank you for doing so much to try and help.

I am so sad to hear the news, I offer you my deepest sympathies and wish I had more words to console you. You did your best by him, and yes, he is no longer suffering and knows that you loved him.
